What is interesting about holidays in the UAE?

Thanks to this, the United Arab Emirates turned into a Mecca of tourism. Finding themselves in the territory of one resort or another, a tourist may think that he is in New York or Singapore. He will be surrounded by buildings a hundred or more stories high, huge transport interchanges, green parks and expensive cars.

Hotels in the UAE

The most expensive rooms can be found at the Burj Al Arab hotel. It should be noted that the cost of a tour to the UAE - nakanikuly, involving accommodation in this establishment, will cost 3-5 times more than in an ordinary five-star hotel. If there is no particular need for special chic and first-class service, you can check into a 3-4 star establishment. Some of them may have meals included.

Here it should also be mentioned that not all hotels have strong alcohol for sale. It is not always possible to find it in local supermarkets and cafes either. Because the main religion is Islam, the consumption of alcohol by locals is prohibited. A small exception was made only for tourists.

Attractions of the UAE

If the beach has become quite boring and you want to unwind, we recommend visiting the following attractions:

• Burj Khalifa. This building is over 800 meters high. The number of floors in it reaches 163. This building has observation decks that allow ordinary tourists. It would be superfluous to talk about the view of the resort that opens from them;

• Gold Souk in Dubai. This place sells gold jewelry at very reasonable prices. The windows are literally filled with earrings, rings, chains and other jewelry. Bargaining is possible in some places;

• Palm Island. A huge artificially created island where hundreds of villas are located. More than half of them are not yet inhabited;

• Bastakiya. To find out how the residents of the UAE lived at the beginning of the last century, you should go to Bastakiya. The architecture and way of life of that time are preserved here;

• Ferrari Museum. Sheikhs have a special attitude towards expensive and sports cars. It is for this reason that they built the Ferrari Museum on the territory of their state. It presents all models of this Italian manufacturer with their full description.

To get to know the UAE fully, you need to go to this country for at least 10 days. Spend part of the time swimming in the Persian Gulf, and the rest visiting interesting places.
